River and Ángel Correa strike deal, set to join the Millonario | OneFootball

Nicolás Otamendi has already been officially unveiled and even put on the red sash he will defend with heart and soul after the 2026 World Cup. But River, far from being satisfied, stepped up in recent hours for another world champion: there is already a verbal agreement with Ángel Correa, and all that remains is to negotiate with Tigres.

The talks have been developing since early April. El Millonario committed to matching the salary he earns in Mexico and offered him a long-term contract. Angelito, for his part, is open to returning to his country after more than a decade abroad. Although he is an undisputed piece in the feline side (23 goals and 13 assists in just 54 matches), the chance to return home carries a lot of weight.

Everything between the player and the club has been ironed out, and Eduardo Coudet, also with a piece of his heart tied to Rosario Central, is waiting for him with open arms to face the second half of the year and go after the Copa Sudamericana, the Torneo Clausura, and the Copa Argentina. However, his departure from Tigres still needs to be unlocked, after coming off a Concachampions runner-up finish following a final defeat to Antonio “Turco” Mohamed’s Toluca.

The Nuevo León team will not give anything away: they will only sit down to talk with River if the offer is around 14 million dollars. Correa is an undisputed figure for coach Guido Pizarro, and he cost 9.5 million dollars a year ago. They will only let him go if they make a profit.

On the other side, Stefano Di Carlo’s board is not willing to reach that figure for the San Lorenzo product and former Atlético de Madrid number 10. River’s starting point is around 10 million dollars, although internally they admit they could stretch a little further in order to complete another top-level signing.
